I have posted V1.4.601 of FTBasic at



which includes a Convert facility for those of you with Kenwood
rigs TH-G71A, TH-D7A(G) and TM-D700A. The Kenwood memories files
look very similar, and other VHF/UHF rigs's files may work as
well.

What the new mod does is to convert the memory parts of the
Kenwood file into a CSV file that includes the FTBasic header
record, decimal points in the right places for frequencies/
offsets, decodes CTCSS and DCS indicators etc. All you have
to do is to check that your frequencies are valid for the
817, and if not then edit them in a spreadsheet or text
editor.

If anyone has problems then mail me direct for fastest
resolution.

P.S. yesterday evening (evening in the UK) I had a dud copy
of this release up on the web for about 3 hours until I noticed
the glitch. If anyone downloaded a dud then another go will
probably get you going - you only need the ftb14601ex.exe file.
Sorry for that.

Hi Bob,,

This is outstanding..
I wish other vendors/suppliers where this customer focused.

But Bob,,
There is one problem. You are just to quick,
You are not even giving us enough time to think of new things :-)

Great Work.
Thanks from me, and on behalf of the rest of the group.

Best Rgds

Bob, this is great! I spent some time this weekend fiddling with this (one
of the harmonics and I use KW HTs) and this works so quickly and easily that
it's almost a miracle! <g> The files go into and out of the two formats
like a breeze.

The only thing that strikes me (it is a "fault" of the KW HT) is that the
KW's 6-character alpha-numeric tags are kinda cryptic, even to the person
who set them up. Obviously, to go back and forth into/out of the 817, they
need to stay as 6 (not that 8 characters is exactly a new horizon in
identification, either!). This may be a practical limitation on the ability
to use files uploaded by another operator. A solution would be to add
another (11th?) column for a longer descriptive tag...since neither the KW
nor the Yaesu could read this data, it would have to be stripped off going
into the (either) radio's "native" format...and, I guess, be reattached by
the FTBasic software. Ummm, sounds like more bother than it's worth,
probably... <?>

Many tnx for your continuing product improvements. FTBasic is probably the
best $15 I ever spent!

Tnx es 73

Hi John,,

I have also put this suggestion into Bob..
Not only for the KW6 vs FT8 tags reason..
But so I can remember what and why did I put this in for.?

John,

The idea of an additional 'description' field of say 25 characters
has already been suggested by David Henn. I am pondering on the
best way to implement this, and the current thoughts are to have
a .CSV file automatically created with each .817 file, and some-
how keep the two in step - that's the bit I haven't yet decided
upon, but will get there in the end.
